I shattered this image I had
this dream of perfection
I replaced the picture
slowly
with tones of brown and green.

The dark was darker
the revelations more burdening
but the joy, oh the joy!
The light was brighter
Colors more vivid.

When I cast off the shackles of conception
and conception,
the wings with which I was blessed
burst forth!
In the dawn of a new light and
I, as I am, took flight.
